>World Rugby wants a Six Nations match to be played in the United States and has offered financial incentives to the unions to make it happen;
>specifically, the match between Italy and Ireland could be played in New York or Boston.
but why
>>
because there are a lot more americans who think they're italian and irish than there are people in italy and ireland
>>
>>157845982
It wont happen i dont think, this last one was kinda forced by world rugby so boks and allblacks played an extra test on baltimore, they dont have the same power over the six nations
>New York or Boston.
>but why
Cause they think the italian and irish diaspora would go to the game, but imo they better of putting the best game they can like an englandxfrance
>>
>>157846009
I looked it up and there are only 6 million Italian Americans
You'd think there were like 50
>>
>>157846069
But how many watched the sopranos tho??
>>
>>157846009
In NJ and NY you barely see anyone that isn't hispanic. Its not even the mestizo type, but the full blown featherhead types. We truly got invaded its insane and all ICE does is shoot White guilt liberals instead (because ICE itself is majority Hispanic).
>>
americans are an embarrassment
>>
Game's gone
>>
>>157846069
Very vocal minority.
>>
>>157845982
>but why
Because like most world sports rugby has been hijacked by globalists who want to break down all borders and Nations and destroy its cultures and use sport as the brainwashing tool to force their ideology on society.

The sport is finished now anyway and wont survive the big coming reset so none of this even matters.
>>
>>157848311
Shut the fuck up you fucking retard
They doing the smallest changes to grow the game after literally centuries of it being ruled by 10 countries, just look long it took for us to enter TRC or how you bunch are just bullying georgia even tho its a better team than wales or italy
World rugby should do way more and they wont cause they have to deal with a bunch of boomers too afraid to grow the game
>>
>>157849703
Why is it important to grow the sport if it stops being the same game? The ultimate sports would be McAd ball under this premise, which America has yet to invent.
>>
>>157849703
This isn’t peasantball you brown manlet,
>>
>>157859254
>which America has yet to invent
Have you tried watching a NFL game ?
No Redzone, but a single regular game.
>>
>>157849703
calm down
this is a cynical money grab and nothing else, you're deluding yourself if you think this is any way growing the game (a fools errand and meaningless concept anyway) in America of all places
you're conveniently forgetting that rugby at least had some level of following in Argentina before being admitted to the championship, plus they are a good side
that isn't happening in America, and no one in the countries these teams are from want games to played outside their countries - seeing the ABs play the Boks in fucking Baltimore is a slap in the face of fans who actually care about the sport and want to watch their teams at home
growing the sport simply means taking it away from those who care about so more money can be made elsewhere
>>
>>157859367
Rugby has a lot of downtime too, they just don't cut to commercial every time they have to do a line out or fuck up making a scrum for 45 seconds. There's a lot of standing around.

Anyway, I don't love this idea. While there is a good amount of rugby in the country, no one is clamoring for more. Many high schools and colleges have teams, and we even have a pro league that has arguably better broadcasts than most leagues. The northeast US would be the best part of the country to host it though. Probably in the spring or early summer when nothing is going on. I will watch it when its on though. We do get some Six Nations games on regular mainstream TV, I watched a few this year.
>>
>>157859355
Fuck you
>>157859408
I am not talking about the usa shit i dont like that, that is 100% world rugby after money, but the nations championship the nations cup the 24 teams world cup are all to grow the game>>157859408
>growing the sport simply means taking it away from those who care about so more money can be made elsewhere
So you can make more money retard,i dont mean the usa game, but if rugby starts being watched and played more seriously on other countries, who do think they are gonna watch?
Also there is been 100 years maybe more of the countries that care trying their best to make it impossible for anyone else to get in

Also argentina had 100 years of rugby history pre rugby champipnship

>>157846009
They are Italian and Irish, we both have citizenship by blood it’s literally called consanguineous citizenship you should look it up before commenting
>>
>>157861315
italy doesn't have it anymore, only the most viriles bantus straight from Nigeria's tribes can get italian citizenship now
>>
>>157848311

Where’s the old /pol/tato? He was at least entertaining

Are you sure about that? I’ll fact check you, be aware

do it, based meloni guaranteed that
>>
>>157861406
If you have an Italian grandparent who is exclusively an Italian citizen you can still obtain Italian citizenship jus sanguinis. It’s the same here, but you can still apply here to a judge if you have one Irish ancestor and can prove it.
You’re right they changed it in Italy but it’s still blood citizenship
>>
>>157860082
11 minutes of play time in nfl on a 3 hour broadcast
Even if you hate line outs, conversions and scrums that still counts as the game being play, even if you dont count it there still 40 min of ball in play time per game out
You cant compare it to nfl
>>
>>157859254
I can understand not wanting your favorite sport to become another soulless corporate product but why gatekeep it from gaining actual new fans? As a minor sport, rugby could use more fans and competitive teams from around the world. It's a shame to let armored handegg be the most popular version of the sport.
>>
love the variety of seething foreigners in here
>>
>>157861324
>>157861406
joao still seething he can't larp as eyetalian anymore kek
>>
>>157862358
Its just some of the unions of the big countries they are ran by boomers that want to gatekeep it, so that they dont have to share the cake but by gatekeeping the cake gets smaller every year

Also nfl its only bigger than rugby in the usa, the six nations is bigger than the superbowl, so imagine the world cup, rugby is played profesionally across 5 continents, etc etc
>>
>>157862373
i'm portuguese though

why do us blue eyed germanics make you angry?
is it because of how we humiliated you on the world stage?
do you seethe that we took the American identity from you?

rugby
>>
>>157861172
you knwo what fuck you
you're ignorant and a rude cunt and don't see that """"""""growing"""""""" the game is pointless
sports don't randomly start taking off in countries where there is no history of it, and you know that, it's simply a line corpos use to make more money
stop being obtuse and a cunt, fuck you
>>
um can we have two actually good teams ty
>>
>>157866530
are ireland not good? fair on italy tho
>>
>>157866441
No fuck you
There are a shit tons of countries with rugby history ready to be exploited, world rugby rankings go to #100

And also what, do you think every sport that has expanded did it to countries that already played it? Are you the big dumbfuck?
>>
10-15 years ago rugby was invisible on uruguay and chile, we helped them a little bit and now they are respectable tier 2 sides and qualified to the world cup
Just as an example
>>
>>157862358
Its just because its America. Most of these people wouldn't have a problem if they were attempting to grow it anywhere else.
>>
>>157866754
Haven't you heard the news? Only the Saffas are good now.

>minor sport
Nigga Rugby is bigger than American football...
>>
>>157866441
Based take from the kiwi. "Growing" is just corpo heeb speak for "how to milk this sport for more shekels" and the argentine rat should rope
>>
>>157867330
Every fucking union is losing money as we speak
New zealand announced today that they might kill superrugby, almost none URC or premiership clubs break even, everything good that happened to france lately comes from it having the only league that makes money, of course unions want to make money retard its not greed, it is to have a fucking sustainable professional sport

You are 40 years late, this isnt le based amateur era
